Enschede, The Netherlands, 18 September 2024 – SuperLight Photonics, a pioneer in cutting-edge laser technology launches its SLP-0280, leading in ultrashort pulse lengths in a compact form factor.
The SLP-0280 is an ultrafast laser delivering 25 femtosecond pulses with a center wavelength of 1750 nm (+/- 200 nm).
SuperLight Photonics’ unique and patented PAD – Patterned Alternating Dispersion ™ technology is leveraged, applying non-linear pulse compression in a highly efficient way. The resulting 25 fs pulses are obtained with substantially lower pulse energy than traditionally needed for such pulse compression. Based on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platform, the form factor is substantially reduced compared to similar lasers. The SLP-0280 outperforms traditional complex systems, and it sets a new benchmark as an ultrafast, low-noise, ultra-stable, small form factor laser solution.
The SLP-0280 is designed to excel in both scientific and industrial applications. In the scientific domain, it is ideal for terahertz generation in high-end spectroscopy, non-destructive imaging applications, material characterization and biomedical applications. Its capabilities are particularly valuable in pump-probe spectroscopy, non-linear microscopy such as 2P (two-photon excitation microscopy) or SHG (second harmonic generation) microscopy, and transient absorption microscopy, where low-power probe pulses are essential for observing ultrafast dynamics without disrupting the material under study.
Additionally, the SLP-0280 is exceptionally well positioned for timing and laser stabilization, e.g., for measuring delays and synchronization in fiber networks.
As with all SuperLight Photonics products, the SLP-0280 features a small-form-factor class III laser classification with rapid start-up time, no calibration requirements, high uptime, and maintenance-free operation.
“We are thrilled to introduce the SLP-0280, the latest addition to our product lineup,” stated Haider Zia, Founder & CTO of SuperLight Photonics. “ The SLP-0280 addresses the specific needs of the ultrafast laser community, providing a powerful yet compact solution that redefines what’s possible in both scientific and industrial contexts.“
SuperLight Photonics will unveil the SLP-0280 at ECOC, 23-25 September 2024 in Frankfurt, Germany, Europe’s largest exhibition dedicated to fiber optic communication technology. It will also be shown at VISION, 08-10 October 2024 in Stuttgart, Germany and PIC Summit Europe, 15-16 October 2024 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
